Is there any hope for me, who proposed to the world-destroying empress at the very beginning?

Su Liang's eyes narrowed as he was enveloped by the swooping phoenix rising from the ashes.

In his eyes, he could clearly see that Gu Jiang's eyes began to undergo strange changes.

The two pupils transformed into two swimming fish, and the appearance of the fish was exactly the same as that Su Liang had seen on the Samsara Seal. The fish swayed their tails and slowly swam in Gu Jiang's eyes, a unique charm emanating from them.

The yin and yang spiritual energy surrounding Gu Jiang began to sway and dance. They swirled and merged, separated and turned, slowly rotating with Gu Jiang's hands, just like a compass.

Upon seeing this, Su Liang did not hesitate and immediately retreated from the form of the Nirvana Phoenix.

After Su Liang left, the Nirvana Phoenix continued its downward swooping down, its momentum undiminished. Within it, the surge of blood and qi from the Divine Emperor's body transformed the entire sky and earth into a furnace.

Faced with this form that seemed to truly embody the divine might of a phoenix, Gu Jiang gathered his left hand, and with a surge of yang energy, he directly blocked the phoenix's form in one fell swoop.

Immediately, he pressed down with his right hand, and black yin energy began to differentiate from the yang energy. The yin energy coiled around the phoenix's form, intertwining like lovers. Gu Jiang clasped his hands together and said coldly, "Yin and Yang, merge!"

Under Gu Jiang's words, the Yin and Yang energies gradually merged, attracting and merging with each other. The phoenix form in its rebirth within them was pushed and squeezed as if by a hydraulic press, its body dissolving without any resistance under the influence of Yin and Yang.

The phoenix's form dissolved completely amidst a mournful cry, and the endless flames of nirvana, enough to obscure the sky, spread out, but dissipated under the tempering of yin and yang energies.

Gu Jiang exhaled, released her grip, stared at Su Liang, and said earnestly:

"Come on, this is the final battle."

Chapter 984 The Most Brilliant Battle of All Time (Part Six)

Surrounded by yin and yang spiritual energy, Gu Jiang was enveloped in a wondrous aura, a feeling that was difficult to describe.

Su Liang frowned, his divine sense expanded fully, and the other eye in his mind opened completely to examine Gu Jiang in front of him. However, in his perception, Gu Jiang was completely confused, surrounded by a vast expanse of yin and yang energy that blocked Su Liang's senses.

Su Liang's eyes were burning, and thoughts flashed through his mind. In just a moment, Su Liang had thought of many things.

The Yin-Yang technique that appeared before him earlier must have been Gu Jiang transporting Yin and Yang into various energies on the phoenix's form, dividing it from the middle, and then slowly eroding it with the Yin-Yang duality.

This method sounds simple, but it is actually very difficult to do.

Not only must one be able to personally experience this enormous energy, but also to personally comprehend its mysteries in order to apply Yin and Yang to it and break it down step by step.

Gu Jiang's mastery of Yin and Yang has surpassed everyone in this era, making him a deserving young emperor. Su Liang is now facing someone who has perfected the power of Yin and Yang, and Su Liang feels a surge of excitement.

In an instant, Su Liang thought of many things. He also saw through Gu Jiang's Yin-Yang fusion technique, but sometimes it's not as simple as you seeing through it to break it.

Gu Jiang opened his hands, the yang energy in his left hand and the yin energy in his right, they intertwined and separated, mysteriously rippling outwards.

A small circle appeared in front of Gu Jiang. Gu Jiang threw the circle into the ground and said coldly:

"Yin and Yang, the Eight Trigrams!"

A giant Bagua diagram unfolded beneath Gu Jiang's body, displaying the eight trigrams in a trigram configuration.

Meanwhile, the Yin and Yang spiritual energy surged within Gu Jiang, frantically emerging from his body and entering the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams diagram on the ground. As the spiritual energy increased, the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams diagram became increasingly bright.

Su Liang frowned. Although this scene didn't seem as shocking as Gu Jiang wielding thunder—that kind of mindless, earth-shattering power—it was still impressive.

However, Su Liang's intuition, which was subtly stirring within him, made him even more cautious about the Bagua diagram. As Gu Jiang made her movements, this feeling grew stronger, and the mysterious aura emanating from Gu Jiang became more and more pervasive.

"Sect Master, don't you think that Gu Jiang's current skills are quite terrifying?"

Near the arena, the obese deputy sect leader spoke in a low voice, squinting as he watched everything unfold.

The sect leader's expression was solemn; "Hmm, you're right. When did Gu Jiang learn this move?"

Within that Bagua formation, I sensed eight distinct forces, including even the lightning that Gu Jiang had always used.

Behind them, the chief ministers and elders, who were struggling to maintain their position, exchanged glances, their eyes filled with intense emotions. One of the chief ministers, a powerful figure who had been granted the title of King, spoke up:

"Sect Master, is there some mistake? Why do I feel fear when I see this Bagua formation?"

"If it weren't for the presence of the sect leader and others, I'd be leaving right now, to my shame."

Behind him, the elders nodded in agreement.

The sect leader glanced at him and said with a smile:

"Gu Jiang is a kid who's been hiding his true strength; even I didn't expect it."

"You still have this trick up your sleeve, but even you feel threatened. I'm afraid that kid on the other side is in for a rough time this time."

The deputy sect leader also said with a smile, "Well, it seems this competition is coming to an end."

Although they subconsciously avoided thinking about Su Liang's identity, most people in the Yin-Yang Sect did not want Gu Jiang, the senior disciple of the Yin-Yang Sect whom they had known for many years, to lose.

Meanwhile, Gu Jiang, on whom high hopes were placed, had already launched his attack.

"The Eight Trigrams, Zhen!"

As Gu Jiang finished speaking, the magnificent divine lightning reappeared. In the void, several bolts of Yang lightning transformed into white giant pythons and swept towards Su Liang's figure. Su Liang swayed his body and transformed into a golden divine dragon, bombarding the bolts of divine lightning with his fists, completely blasting them away.

As soon as Su Liang landed, Gu Jiangdi's voice came.

"The Eight Trigrams, Kun! The Eight Trigrams, Kan!"

The world spun, the stars shifted, and Su Liang felt his vision blur and his head spin.

When he regained his senses, half of his body was already buried in the ground, and a river in front of him, like Noah's flood, swept in with overwhelming, world-destroying power.

The river flows into the sea, its waves rolling and crashing, one after another, the sound of violent waves crashing against the shore echoing incessantly, as if coming from a desolate valley in hell, transforming into a gigantic wave that swallows everything in its path.

Su Liang's expression was solemn, but he was not panicked. On the contrary, he was unusually calm. He was not only analyzing the Bagua that Gu Jiang had used, but he was also predicting how to deal with the future moment.

Su Liang mobilized the vast spiritual energy within his body, but found that the surrounding land seemed to have some kind of taboo. The vast spiritual energy within his body was now flat and unusable. Not only was the spiritual energy unusable, but even his Nirvana Flame seemed to be imprisoned.

Su Liang instantly realized the wonder of this land, and without hesitation, he tested all the powers within his body.

Finally, it was discovered that all he could currently utilize was the physical strength of his God-Emperor body and the overwhelming killing intent he had unintentionally gained through the One Thought Heavenly Connection.

Drawn by this overwhelming killing aura, Su Liang faintly heard the roars of various strange beasts, which turned his eyes bloodshot.

"boom!"

This strange land, created by Gu Jiang, was utterly powerless against this murderous aura and was directly blasted away.

After Gu Jiang watched Su Liang escape, he was about to use another Bagua technique to imprison Su Liang when he was surprised to find that Su Liang neither fled nor left, but faced the great flood that he had summoned with the character Kan.

Su Liang stretched his muscles and bones, easing the stagnant spiritual energy in his body. Looking at the interplay of reality and illusion before him, the river and sea resembled a natural disaster and a great flood. Su Liang immediately saw through its true nature.

"Is it based on the same principle as the spiritual energy palm technique I use?"

Su Liang murmured softly,

The spiritual energy palm he unleashed was a small part drawn from the vast and boundless sea of ​​spiritual energy within his body; essentially, it was an attack on people by overwhelming them with spiritual energy.

Gu Jiang's Kan move mostly transforms the power of heaven and earth using the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams. In terms of usage, the two are equally superior, but at this moment, this Kan move is indeed much more sophisticated than his Spiritual Palm.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of cold light arrived first, followed by a purple wisp of light!

The spear flashes like a dragon, its sharpness unmatched!

Su Liang took out the Purple Star Spear, his mind calmed down, his inner eye opened, and his whole being seemed to merge with the spear.

Meanwhile, the spear spirit Zi Ling within the Ziwei Spear sensed Su Liang's presence. Without any hesitation, she opened her mind and body, completely submitting herself to Su Liang's control.

Holding the Purple Star Spear, Su Liang looked at the surging river before him and said disdainfully:

"This wave is nothing to fear!"

Chapter 985 The Most Brilliant Battle of All Time (Part 7)

Su Liang stood alone with his spear atop the raging flood summoned by the character "Kan," which seemed poised to destroy the world. He transformed into a startled dragon and charged straight forward.

This seemingly reckless behavior drew gasps of astonishment from several people present.

When faced with the floodwaters of rivers and lakes, they are awe-inspiring, surging forces of heaven and earth.

Within it, a sound like the roar of a dragon and the howl of a tiger tore towards Su Liang.

Su Liang pointed his spear at the spot, and the towering waves were frozen solid upon impact.

The entire oppressive world fell silent. Su Liang's spiritual energy transformed into countless surging currents, blocking the river and floodwaters. The river and floodwaters were completely halted by the vast spiritual energy.

Su Liang brandished the Purple Star Spear in his hand, creating a whirlpool in front of him. He swung the spear shaft amidst the swirling waves, and a blood-red aura of malevolence permeated the area.

With a single strike of the Purple Star Spear, a blood-red golden wheel exploded amidst the waves. The rolling waves and the eerie roar of the empty valley began to fade, eventually transforming into a stream and disappearing into the air.

Su Liang stood proudly in mid-air, gun in hand, as the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and shone upon him.

The surroundings were deathly silent in the face of Su Liang's act of calming the sea, for everything before them was too shocking.

This reflects both shock at the strength of the senior brother Gu Jiang and amazement at Su Liang's response.

Faced with Gu Jiang's attack, Su Liang neither dodged nor avoided, but directly stepped forward to break the deadlock. Strategically speaking, this was foolish, but in the cultivation world, this upright method of breaking the deadlock was more eye-catching.

A look of surprise flashed across Gu Jiang's eyes. Ever since he deduced the character "坎" (kan), he had never imagined that anyone of his generation could decipher it.

Because no one understands better than him exactly how much energy of heaven and earth is gathered within the character "坎" (Kan).

It contained almost all the spiritual energy of the three giants; even he could barely withstand the power of this barrier for a period of time.

When he used the Kan character to unleash his power, he usually used other characters to restrain his opponent. But today, he was amazed to see someone break through the barrier head-on for the first time.

Although surprised, Gu Jiang remained perfectly calm.

"Junior Brother's strength is truly remarkable. In all this time, you are the first peer I have seen to directly break through my barrier."

Su Liang calmed his internal energy, which had become somewhat disordered from exerting too much force, and then spoke:

"You are also the strongest and most mysterious and unpredictable person I have ever met among your generation."

The two exchanged a smile, and only they knew what it truly meant.

“You were in charge of the attacks just now, but watch out, it’s my turn to make a move!” Su Liang said sharply, brandishing his gun.

Gu Jiang remained silent, only staring intently at Su Liang.

"Zi!"

The scorching sun rose brightly, and Su Liang focused on wielding his spear, his movements like a dragon wagging its tail or a startled dragon suddenly appearing.

With a single roar, a dragon's cry came from afar, echoing between heaven and earth. In the air, a powerful dragon's might began to spread.

A dragon with distinct features and a bright dragon pearl in its mouth suddenly flew up around Su Liang.

Beside him, five identical divine dragon bodies also vaguely appeared. As the six divine dragons soared and danced with pearls in their mouths, the barrier formed by the dense spiritual energy near the arena began to crack.

"Oh no! Sect Master, come quickly and help! Are all these young men using this kind of move when they fight these days?"

The obese deputy sect leader's expression changed drastically, and amidst the gratified gazes of the chief elders, he flashed into the spiritual energy protection array.
